Hi, It seems that there might be having some infection on scalp due to contact dermatitis giving rise to enlarge lymph nodes below the ear. If require go for one antibiotic medicine course after consulting your doctor. Take antihistamine like Cetrizine for itching as it may precipitate infection. Continue applying steroid cream. Ok and take care.
Its possibly the lymph node enlargement due to secondary infection caused by dermatitis of scalp. Better get evaluated by a physician because if it may require use of antibiotics.
